Weeks Aims to Cement Legacy in 2026 for LSU

Senior linebacker Whit Weeks is poised to make a significant impact during LSU's 2026 football season, with aspirations of solidifying his legacy and helping the Tigers contend for national championships. Weeks made the pivotal decision to return to Baton Rouge, foregoing the 2026 NFL Draft, a move considered a major win for the team's defense. His presence is expected to bring stability, particularly as he played under defensive coordinator Blake Baker in 2025 and Baker remained with the team.

Having accumulated 205 total tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks over his career, Weeks has been a standout player for LSU. Despite an injury-plagued 2025 season, his 2024 performance saw him record over 120 tackles and earn a First-Team All-SEC selection. If Weeks can stay healthy and replicate his 2024 form, he could once again emerge as one of the SEC's top linebackers, crucial for LSU's success against top competition.
